Crispy Baked Kale Chips with Nutritional Yeast ingredients

  • 1 bunch kale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

How to make Crispy Baked Kale Chips with Nutritional Yeast

  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Thoroughly wash the fresh kale under cold running water. Pat it completely dry with paper towels or use a salad spinner; any moisture will prevent the kale from becoming crispy.
  3. Remove the tough stems from the kale leaves by tearing or cutting the leafy parts away. Tear the kale into bite-sized pieces, about 1-2 inches in size.
  4. In a large bowl, drizzle the kale pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Use your hands to massage the oil into every piece of kale until they are lightly coated, ensuring even crisping.
  5. Sprinkle the kale with 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt, and 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  6. Arrange the seasoned kale in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. If necessary, use two baking sheets to avoid steaming the kale.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. The kale chips are done when they are dark green, very crispy, and slightly shrunken. Watch them closely in the last few minutes, as they can burn quickly.
  8. Remove the kale chips from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up further as they cool. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
